Red Ronin comes to New York City. This causes not only the Avengers to arrive on the scene but also S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Nick Fury aboard the old Behemoth helicarrier from the days when S.H.I.E.L.D. was trying to contain Godzilla. The Behemoth, Captain America, and Iron Man's attacks prove ineffective. Fury decides to feed the Behemoth's power to Iron Man and have him electrify the waters of the Hudson where Red Ronin is standing. It works and knocks the robot out. However since the pilot Dr. Cowan is unconscious, the robot revives and begins to act on its own and continues its rampage.
